The guide shared a LOT of history and interesting side notes as a part of the tour—engaging and I felt there was a great amount of content. Would recommend.
Our tour guide Diletta was fabulous. Very informative but also fun and interesting.
I would highly recommend her.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you! :)
Diletta was our excellent guide on the tour. She very knowledgeable, enthusiastic and her passion for Lucca and the area shone through. Diletta's delivery and interesting facts, as well as her recommendations, made it not only value for money but a highlight of the holiday as we learned so much more than a guide book could give us. We would highly recommend this tour and the gelato shop which did indeed taste the best in the city.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
thank you for your kind review!
We are happy you enjoyed the tour and Diletta :)
Ilaria was a very kind and knowledgeable guide. Such a wonderful and informative tour and very easy walk
This was the worst tour ever. We could not understand him, he stuttered and seemed uninformed and unprepared.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Dear Andrea, we are sorry about your experience.
Our guides are prepared and informed and qualified and they all have a C1 level in English.
Are you sure you joined our tour in Lucca?
This tour was very slow. Needed to be faster to reduce boredom. I left tour early as it was too slow. Guide wad plesant.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Dear Linda, we are really sorry you haven’t enjoyed our tour.
It is very important to receive feedbacks from our guests in order to improve our service.
We would like to understand better what you mean for "Slow".
In case you are referring to people in the group that walked slowly, in SHARED TOURS we, tour guides, must ensure that nobody is left behind.
In this way, our tour can be for all :)
Best regards
Sara our guide was wonderful. Very knowledgeable, warm, kind and engaged. Perfect amount of time for the tour. She provided many useful tips on places to go, things to do. Her favorite lunch spot was spot on!

thank you for your kind review!
Ilaria was a wonderful guide and very engaging. She brought Lucca’s history to life with in depth stories and touches of humor. She taught about Lucca’s long and rich history.
Response from Host, Jan 2026
thank you very much for your kind feedback!
Knowledgeable exposure to Lucca history and main sites in the old city. Our guide was a teacher at local schools.
Davide is an A++ tour guide. He is extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of Lucca, in addition to being punctual and very considerate. Highly recommend.
It was a beautiful introduction to Lucca. The guide was Ilaria and she was lovely. Very clear, informative and caring. A fabulous morning.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Thank you for your kind feedback :)
Super informative and enjoyable. Nadia is so nice and full of interesting information. Just the right length of time.
Great overview of Luca and its history- provides a good roadmap for sites to go and visit later. Diletta was extremely knowledgeable and informative.
Lovely friendly guide . Knowledgable, the tour went at a good pace, answered any questions we had. In English

thank you for your feedback!
Very friendly and knowledgeable guide. Interesting sites and stories. Great introduction to the city
Response from Host, Oct 2024
Thank you for this kind review!
Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and communicated very well. However, the tour group size was too large. We had a difficult time hearing our guide because of this.
Response from Host, Sep 2024
Thanks Terri for this feedback. Usually our groups are small. Unexpectedly, it happend to have a lot of people walking in: we couldn't find a last minute second guide and we didn't want to send people away.
Sorry for the inconvenience, we're happy you liked our guide! :)
Great value. Great guide. Nice way to see
the basics of Lucca. Short but thorough and beneficial introductory tour.
Response from Host, Sep 2024
grazie! :)
This was a good tour with a knowledgeable guide BUT it would have been so much better if she had used headphones. She was quite softly spoken and unfortunately we missed quite a bit of information as we were moving around the city. It was also raining which really exacerbated the problem. Also she often started talking when the group was not together. Shame, as she was nice and the information really interesting.
Response from Host, Sep 2024
Dear Caroline, thank you for your useful feedback.
Unfortunately, for such a low rate tour, it's impossible to include headphones.
I add that our groups are always very small: yours was composed by 12 partecipants only.
But, I repeat, thanks for your feedback: a guide learns through feedbacks too :)
Nice walk in the city. Maria explains very well the history and the architecture of the city, underlying the role and the importance of local communities.
Maybe the tour requires more than 2 hours to avoid rushes and give more times to pictures and questions.
We appreciated especially the tour inside the cathedral.
Response from Host, Jul 2024
Buongiorno Martina, thanks for your feedback.
This specific tour is conceived to give an overall view of the town, its history and contemporary lifestyle with a guided tour inside its most iconic monument: St Martin's Cathedral.
We are happy and proud you liked the tour!
2 hours tour is a reasonable compromise of time we reckon for this purpose, keeping in mind passed suggestions, requests and reviews made by those who have participated and of course taking on account our years experience.
Of course 2 hours are not enough for those who want to go deeper inside history and art, that's why we also offer other private guided tours based on individual requests and specific agreements. Hope you will join a private tour in the future! :)
We enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere and the guide was great.
I would recommend this tour as it can give good insight to all of the different aspects of the city.
Was ok. Started late, waiting 20 minutes for a late registered couple. Could have covered more sites.
Lucy was a wonderful tour guide . She was extremely knowledgeable and explained the rich history of Lucca in a completely engaging manner. Very grateful for the experience!
What a great tour. Our guide was so fabulous. She really taught us a lot and we went away with a great appreciation of the city. We will definitely return to Lucca some day.
Response from Host, Nov 2023
grazie! :)
Diletta was delightful! Excellent tour guide. SO much information in a short period of time. Not only did she give Lucca history, she gave shopping and restaurant recommendations for after.
Really great value for the price. I'd highly recommend this tour to anyone.
Response from Host, Nov 2023
thank you so much for your kind review!
we are happy you enjoyed the tour and the guide! :)
The guide expertly explained: clearly, interestingly, the 2,000, years of Lucca history. Plus you meet a lot of nice people with similar interests. Lunch, anybody?
Our guide Ilaria could not have been better, personable, knowledgeable and accomodating. The two hour tour was the perfect amount of time and a great way to get to know Lucca.
Very good walking tour of the old city Luca. Excellent overview of the history and sites along the way…gave us lots of ideas for further visits. Roped the day off with a classical music concert in the cathedral, which was free.
Our guide was delightful and informative. She really gave us a perspective from a person who grew up in this walled city.
The tour was decent but covered just a few sites. For a 2 hour tour I expected more coverage than just 2 blocks. While I was glad to have a local guide, I felt it somewhat difficult to understand her accent. Might have been my issue…
We've been guide by Mrs. Nadia through the history, places and habits of Lucca. Mrs. Nadia has been nice and able to focus our attention to the many beauties of this town. There's been really much to learn and two hours passed quickly. Without this tour we would have notice and retained just a small portion of what we've got by this experience. Inspiring!
